Retail Rut

The job market is tough there is no doubt about it. I have been looking for work for a few months off and on. Now that I'm unemployed I'm looking all day everyday. I was applying online for administrative jobs, but everyone wants you to have experience, to which I have very little. Yesterday I was gone most of the day hand delivering resumes. I even stopped off at an employment assistance company. I had an interview and extensive profile to fill out. Many places have gone to only accepting resumes online. I hit it off with a few employees in those places where I applied. Connecting with people from my hometown who have also moved away. Went to a store that I used to work at (different location) and my old manager from there is now at that location which it was nice to bump into her there.

Apparently I have the skills and experience to be hired into retail much easier than an administrative role. I was trying to avoid this, but if this is an area that I'm strong in I guess I need to embrace it and perhaps consider looking into getting other experiences while I'm at it.

All that to say I have an interview tomorrow. I remember the first time that I walked into this store. I was in awe of the tidiness and cleanliness I saw. Not to mention all the little trinkets that I would love to get my hands on. Maybe I can then become and more organized person in my home :).
